Over 30 years of retirement, Swan would collect as much as $1.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Swan received $40,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Swan will have already received $125,070 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
